Hallo paulie420,

Nice, I'm also using OMV in my home network, although an older version.

Yes, you have to tell the NFS server which clients are allowed to connect  
to the NFS shares.

Your provided ifconfig output shows this line:

p>         inet 10.0.0.16  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.0.0.255

So this computer is in the network 10.0.0.0/24 (/24 is equivalent to the  
netmask 255.255.255.0).

The "lo" address 127.0.0.1 is only reachable on this specific computer and  
applies to itself, it is the "loopback device" -- so it is not relevant  
for your question.

p> Do I set my range with the '127.0.0.1/24' or do I use my wifi
p> '10.0.0.1/24'?

You have to use 10.0.0.0/24 (and not 10.0.0.1/24) in OMV.
"10.0.0.0" defines the whole network "10.x.x.x" and "/24" selects the part  
of "10.x.x.x" according to the netmask 255.255.255.0, this results in:
10.0.0.1-10.0.0.254 as usable addresses.

So, enter 10.0.0.0/24 in OMV for your NFS share :)

Another hint on NFS: It can be a bit tricky regarding the user/group  
access rights -- make sure your user(s) have the same user ID (UID) and  
the groups have the same group ID (GID) on all your machines.
That's because NFS (in the default configuration) relies on the UID+GID  
and not on the real username (unlike eg. SMB shares).

Anna
